vids of arcades in the UK in the 80's and 90's
- Thread starter Alpha1
- Start date
Duck Hunt - right at the start isn't it?
[EDIT] I couldn't see it, but I can tell you that about 2/3rd's of the way down on the right hand side of the 'Ilfracombe 1989' arcade is a Star Force in an Electrocoin cab
I actually spent a month or two living just round the corner from that place in the Winter of 1989

There's Enduro Racer near the start and at 0.53 the dude is playing Flying Shark, then about 1.20 the kid sticks 10p in Wonderboy in an Electrocoin cab. Can't really make out the others, think one is possibly Cabal.

Also there's an Outrun right at the end and I think it's another Enduro Racer inbetween that and SF2.
Oh and could that be Gauntlet they're all playing round the corner of the Copper Run fruities at the beginning?

There's a sf2 and a sky shark in there and a wonder boy
Looks like a S.T.U.N Runner @ 1:07.
These were the days when arcades were definitely starting to decline. The preponderance of generic Goliath type cabs etc. Oll you should have seen the early 80's they really were a special time...

Thankfully I have plenty of memories from the very early 80's heighday! No video though. I was only a kid and video filming was very, very expensive back then. In fact, video players hadn't been in the homes for that long iirc, let alone cameras.
